“What illiterate moron writes this drivel?
So they succeeded in developing an anode-free battery, but whatever they added “forms an anode protective layer but also helps minimize the bulk expansion of the anode.”
Uh?? I thought it was anode free!”
The “illiterate moron”. knows more about batteries than you do.
TVA electricity... that indicates the region. In my case, I’ll say “North Alabama”, but I won’t get any more specific in a public forum.
You asked “by how much”, and 33% should have been an adequate answer.
I guess I’ll not bother to provide any useful info in the future if you’re gonna be annoyed when others answer your questions.
It still doesn’t address the problem with expense and infrastructure.
The only thing worse than the writing of this article is the comments.
Range has NOTHING to do with the individual battery, it comes from the pack size, and power density. Period. Then on top of that you have recharge cycles.
It’s possible to make a 500 mile battery pack, and it be about 1.5 Million miles capable (that would only take 3000 recharges).
“You asked “by how much”, and 33% should have been an adequate answer.”
No. To make a comparison to gas the price after the increase is required.
You say Alabama so I will say that even with a 33% increase the EV still has a fuel cost advantage.
“I guess I’ll not bother to provide any useful info in the future “
Your info was not useful.
Great! Now, how far will it go in a car?
You gotta crack some eggs to make an omelet...
Maybe you can enlighten this moron.
How does an “anode free” battery get an anode that needs to be protected from bulk expansion? And why if it’s anode free?
Wow, 1000 lbs is about 160 gallons of gas, which would take you easily across the country at 20 mpg, or about 4000 km. That’s about a 70:1 ratio, gas vs. battery, as a storage medium by weight.
Com’on man, you’re an engineer and “do” metric.
I know. I actually prefer SI units, but didn’t want to get yelled at.
Base 10 makes sense, English units are just nonsense to me.
I convert metric to base 8. I’m an old software engineer. (Just kidding, only had brief brushes with octal.)
Any hexadecimal?
977 Wh/L??
“The Bar” (gasoline) is 9300 Wh/L
Read ‘em and weep.
Base 10 makes sense, English units are just nonsense to me.
Speed of light in octal: 2.167474112x1011 m/s.
Tons
I have never seen that one before. :)
The funny thing is almost none of my schooling applies to my job.
All that hard work for nothing.
(Not really nothing as knowledge is something)
